Start your free community

2

Add your next event(s)

Create your next event, or even several, using our built-in event templates or create your own. Assign managers to your events. Add any volunteer opportunities and RSVPs if you need them.

3

Set up tickets and donations

Connect your existing Stripe account, or create one on the fly in PlanSocial to securely receive payments. Add your ticket types and prices, set a maximum ticket limit if required. Add a form to collect any extra information you need.

4

Add a register button

From your Manage page in the hub, go to Settings to get a code snippet to get a PlanSocial register/login button with your hub's unique link. The button will look like this:

Ask the school to add this button to their website, and add it to your PTA website if you have one. This will make it easy for any new parents to find it and join the hub and log in anytime. You can also add your unique registration link to the About page on your social media accounts.

5

Announce the launch

Use any current channels to let parents know that you're launching a new private community hub for your school on PlanSocial. Use these launch flyers and send them via your school email newsletter, post them on social media, print them and send home with the kids. Hold a fun launch event if you can, perhaps offering a small prize for a lucky registrant.

6

Invite members

If you already have some names and email addresses, you can start inviting people directly, and encourage them to invite others they know. We can also upload a spreadsheet of names and emails for you if you send it to our support team.

7

Promote your next event

Share the link for your next event and get people signing up to RSVP, volunteer or just buy their tickets. This can be a very effective way to get lots of people registered quickly, or they can just check out as guests if you do not make registration mandatory.
